Chapter 130 Can’t Be More Silly

In this way, Shen Yuechuan actually did it deliberately to piss Su Yicheng?

Su Jianan suddenly felt that these people were all sophisticated. So she thought that she’d better eat her dinner and do not mess with anyone.

But… some dishes were too far to reach, and she was afraid to do that…

Though she usually seemed to be fearless, but these people were all Lu Boyan’s friends, who were really close to him. She had to pay attention to her actions, so she couldn’t reach with the chopsticks stretching out too far, like what she did when she ate with Lu Boyan.

“What do you want to eat?” Lu Boyan suddenly asked her.

She looked at his slender hand and felt like she was about to realize her dream of having the delicious. “Braised prawns!”

Lu Boyan picked two for her and she ate with great satisfaction. Then she felt free to ask Lu Boyan to pick up the dishes she wanted.

The dignified President Lu had never served people with dish, so others could just watch and pretended to be natural without saying anything.

After the meal, several guys set up a table and started to play cards. Su Jianan and Luo Xiaoxi were really confused since they did not understand the rules. Thus Su Jianan quitted and took Luo Xiaoxi to the kitchen.

“What to do in the kitchen?” Luo Xiaoxi pointed to the garden outside, “There is such a big garden, why don’t we go out and take a walk?”

“I noticed that Shen Yuechuan and those guys only brought some wine without any food,” Su Jianan opened the refrigerator and took out something like lotus roots and edamame, “they will definitely be hungry when they watch the game tomorrow morning, so I’m going to prepare them something to eat.”

“Wow,” Luo Xiaoxi sincerely praised, “Jianan, I would definitely marry you if I were a man.”

Su Jianan boiled the edamame. “I have already married. If you become Lu Boyan in the next life, I will marry you.”

Luo Xiaoxi rolled up her sleeves to help. “Anyway, you still like Lu Boyan.”

Su Jianan paused and smiled helplessly. “I can do nothing about it. Liking him is as natural as breathing to me.”

“I saw him picking up dishes for you, so I have great expectation on you guys!” Luo Xiaoxi patted on Su Jianan’s shoulder, “Come on!”

Su Jianan soaked the washed edamame with light salt water and went to prepare the spices. She then sharpened the knife and cut the lotus root. “If I can’t conquer Lu Boyan, I have to conquer his stomach!”

They spent more than an hour to make the crispy, honeydew lotus root and corned edamame. Su Jianan also fried some peanuts. They were afraid that the food might not be enough for those guys, so she and Luo Xiaoxi also made some small baking snacks with the oven.

When the snacks were cooked, Su Jianan heard the familiar footsteps getting closer and closer and she knew it was Lu Boyan without thinking. Sure enough he held her from behind. “What did you make?”

Su Jianan hand-picked the lotus root and fed it to Lu Boyan. “How about the taste?”

Lu Boyan did not know that she could cook these small snacks. So he took a bite, and found out that it was better than what people sold in the restaurants.

He asked her. “Who did you learn it from?”

“I knew the recipe once I taste it in the restaurant,” Su Jianan was unaware that it was an unusual skill, so she said it in a very easy and normal way, “I don’t have to learn at all. Right, aren’t you playing cards?”

Lu Boyan said. “I win too much, they won’t let me play.”

Su Jianan thought for a moment and nodded solemnly. “… We really should not bully the guests.”

Lu Boyan smiled. “It’s not early, do you want to go back to the room to sleep?”

She was actually a bit sleepy, but couldn’t help tasting the little cake when she saw them on the baking tray. The flavor was unexpectedly well, which was better than she cooked before. She couldn’t help cheering. “I couldn’t love myself more!”

Lu Boyan bowed and ate the little half left in her hand. The cake was fragrant and soft, but not in a greasy way. It slowly melted in the mouth, and remained the lips and teeth with fragrance. Lu Boyan thought it was one of the few bests he had tasted.

He touched Su Jianan on her head. “Compared with medical examiner, maybe you are more suitable to be a pastry chef.”

Su Jianan was embarrassed.

Not because he ridiculed her to be a pastry chef, but… he just ate the half that she had eaten! There was her saliva on it! Besides… didn’t he like sweets?

Or he just liked the sweets she made?

Su Jianan felt sweet deep down in her heart, but pouted. “I don’t want to be a pastry chef. So you can see me wearing a chef hat every day. And I’ll be oily and it doesn’t look good!”

Lu Boyan took her out by holding her hand, when Su Jianan discovered that Luo Xiaoxi had already sat at the table and played the card excitedly. “Bawan!” Su Yicheng stood behind her to help.

“Jianan, come here,” Luo Xiaoxi excitedly waved, “I can almost play! I also won Shen Yuechuan 100 yuan hahahaha…”

“Would you like to play for a while?” Lu Boyan said, “I can teach you.”

Su Jianan thought about it and shook her head. “I’d rather not, what if I learned and started to gamble and ruin the family?”

Lu Boyan raised his eyebrows, “The family will not be ruined even if you lose one million a day.”

Su Jianan, “… You won.”

She walked over, “You have fun, we are going to sleep.”

Those people were all giddy because of playing the cards, so they waved to Su Jianan, “Good night, sister-in-law!” Luo Xiaoxi also followed, “Good night, landlady!”

Su Jianan couldn’t help smiling and gently pulled Lu Boyan’s sleeve. “I’ll go back to the room.”

Lu Boyan responsed. Watching Su Jianan’s figure disappearing into the stairway, Mu Sijue ridiculed him leisurely. “You can follow up if you can’t help. It makes no difference on viewing if watching the game without you, anyway.”

Lu Boyan kicked Shen Yuechuan, so he understood tacitly and gave the seat to Lu Boyan.

In the next game, Mu Sijue lost a house to Lu Boyan, as well as a subsidiary hotpot restaurant in City A.

Luo Xiaoxi looked stunned. “Wow, boss, are you the reincarnation of gambling god?”

Lu Boyan looked so relaxed like he hadn’t been through any battles. He rose lightly and gave back the seat to Shen Yuechuan.

“Hey wait!” Luo Xiaoxi gestured Shen Yuechuan not to sit down, “The boss just won, I think that seat must be lucky, do you mind changing the seats? I…”

Her head was suddenly hit by Su Yicheng before she even finished. He said before she went angry. “The position can’t be changed easily when playing cards. I am teaching you rules.”

Luo Xiaoxi rubbed her head, which felt hurt. “Then teach like you mean it, why did you hit my head? Can you take the responsibility if you lowered my IQ?”

Su Yicheng smiled. “Relax, it won’t— your IQ can’t be lower.”

“You…”

Luo Xiaoxi, who believed herself to be eloquent, was so pissed that she could even spit blood. Shen Yuechuan had to stand up and mediate the dispute, “It’s just playing cards, you are not strangers, why so serious? Come, Xiaoxi, I’ll give you my seat.”

Luo Xiaoxi smiled smugly toward Lu Boyan, and changed her position with Shen Yuechuan happily.

She had already learned all from Su Yicheng, and started playing really fast. Although she had not won the money, she didn’t lose too much.

“Way to go, Xiaoxi,” Shen Yuechuan praised her generously, “I didn’t learn this fast like you.”

Luo Xiaoxi got more and more addicted, and she gradually didn’t need guidance from Su Yicheng. She was too excited and didn’t feel sleepy at all.

At one o’clock in the morning, Su Yicheng urged her. “You go take a nap, I’ll wake you up when the game starts.”

“No,” Luo Xiaoxi decisively played a card, “I want to win tonight!”

After another round, Mu Sijue said suddenly. “There is a replay of the last game, do you want to go up and watch?”

Struggling between the game and the mahjong, Luo Xiaoxi finally chose the former. Seeing Su Yicheng and them going upstairs, she said to them. “Jianan made you something to eat, let’s bring them up from the kitchen.”

Shen Yuechuan first rushed into the kitchen, and couldn’t help eating the honeydew lotus root. He said after a while, “Damn, Xiaoxi, do you have other girlfriends like Jianan? Introduce them to me!”

“Why would I do that?” Luo Xiaoxi said with a smile, “To be girlfriend with you?”

“Out!” Shen Yuechuan pushed her, “Of course I’ll treat her like what our boss did— marry her to make her my wife!”

“It’s a pity,” Luo Xiaoxi shook her head, and took a small bite of the lotus root, “there is only one Su Jianan in this world, and only our boss could have the luck.”

Lu Boyan heard exactly what they said. “What are you still waiting for?”

“Coming!”

They rushed upstairs with each having a handful of snacks, talking and laughing, but they suddenly went quiet when they were in the corridor on the second floor.

They were all afraid of waking up Su Jianan.

The replay didn’t start when they turned on the big screen and chose the channel. Lu Boyan got up and said, “I’ll be back soon.”

“It starts soon,” Shen Yuechuan asked, “where are you going?”

“Isn’t the answer obvious?” Mu Sijue smiled, “Where else will he go besides going checking his wife?”

Since the audio-visual room was soundproof, so they were all laughing and making fun of him. Lu Boyan ignored them and went straight out.

In fact, Mu Sijue was right. He went out to see if Su Jianan was asleep.

He found the reading light on her bed was still open after he opened her door, and there was a pillow and a book on the floor. The quilt was half dropped on the floor, and she slept in a strange position.

Lu Boyan sighed and helped her put the book and the pillow. He also arranged the quilt for her. Then she suddenly grabbed his hand in her sleep.

She just held it tightly without making any sound and tried to drag it over as a pillow, as if it would make her feel at ease.

Lu Boyan tried to pull his hand back, but she suddenly cried a bit and kicked off the quilt with anger.

He had to stay and repented why did he come in to find trouble. He thus pulled a chair to sit next to the bed and looked at her.

She always looked like a child when she was sleeping and had shallow breaths quietly. Her long eyelashes hung so peacefully that people couldn’t help touching her for just a little bit.

After a while, Su Jianan seemed to be able to let go of his hand. Lu Boyan tried again to pull back his hand and finally succeeded.

He tucked her in and returned to the audio-visual room. As soon as he opened the door, he heard that Luo Xiaoxi and Shen Yuechuan were being too excited and cheering for the game, so he closed the door immediately.

Su Yicheng asked. “Is Jianan sleeping?”

“Yes.” He looked at the plates on the coffee table that the lotus roots and peanuts were almost eaten up.

“If I didn’t stop them, the edamame and the snacks were all gone,” Luo Xiaoxi took a sip of beer and complained about those men, “especially Shen Yuechuan, have you not eaten all day?”

Shen Yuechuan went angry. “I just haven’t eaten such delicious lotus roots all day!”

Luo Xiaoxi snorted and looked at Lu Boyan. “Don’t you go to see Jianan? How come… so fast?”
